What was the Billeting Act?
The Billeting Act was an Act passed by Parliament in 1756 that required "accommodations in private homes, as well as in barracks and taverns" (Nicholas Varga, Restraining Act: Its Passage and Some Effects, 1766-1768, Pg. 234). In 1754, Parliament extended the Mutiny Act to the Colonies in order to force the Colonists into assisting British troops for their protection from the dangers of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The Billeting Act was another Act by Parliament that would accomplish their military needs via the help of the Colonists' shelters. The fact that the Colonists were required to quarter British soldiers in their private homes, if necessary, was found absurd, and was met with great resistance.
Did the governors in the colonies usually promoted the needs of the colonists rather than promoting British interests?

Why did the colonists resent the British government after the French and Indian War?
The British Army and the colonists had fought together to defeat the French and their allies in the French and Indian War (1756-1763). The conduct of the British during the war stirred resentment among the colonists. The British officers treated the colonial officers with arrogant disdain, even though the officers were usually wealthy and well-respected men in the colonies and frequently had more experience in the type of warfare that characterized the French and Indian War. More seriously, when the commanders of the British troops found it difficult to persuade colonial legislatures to allocate money for "quartering" (providing housing for) and supplying provisions to the British soldiers during the war, they had on some occasions forcibly seized private homes to house their troops, a clear violation of British common law. After the war, for the first time during a time of peace, British soldiers were stationed in the cities of the colonies themselves rather than in forts on the outposts of the frontier. Parliament passed the Quartering Act of 1765 requiring the colonial authorities to pay the cost of housing and feeding these troops. Since the colonists had always before supplied their own soldiers when defense was needed and questioned why a standing army was stationed in their midst, they were particularly resentful about paying for the troops' needs. Lastly, as a result of the war, the British government thought it would be appropriate to impose taxes directly on the colonists. With the victory, the British monarchy had gained a huge amount of territory in North America, territory that might bring it much wealth but which would require increased costs for protection against Indian and other foreign attacks: building new fortifications, staffing them with soldiers, and equipping them with weapons, ammunition and other gear. The British were already deeply in debt from the war. The British Parliament passed the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765, the first taxes that the British Parliament had imposed directly on the colonists. Previously, the cost of colonial government had been paid by taxes imposed by the legislatures elected in each colony. The colonists thought the taxes imposed by the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act were unjust, since the colonists had also fought in the French and Indian War, with loss of human lives and livelihoods; the colonies had not benefited from gains in territory as the British monarchy had; and the colonists believed that it was unconstitutional under the British common law for Parliament to levy a tax on colonists when the colonists had no representation in Parliament.
Why did Americans want independence from England's king?
From 1607 until 1763, the British had a hands-off approach towards the colonies - with exception of Georgia, all the colonies were private ventures and not under government supervision. After French-Indian War (Seven Years' War), British was deep in debt and needed to raise money. Since colonists were not really paying their share of taxes, Parliament set out to make the colonists to pay their share. Colonists balked ("no taxation without representation") and the growing tensions between the two led to some in colonies to consider independence. From the colonists' point of view, the taxation and punishment for not paying them violated English laws and convinced some colonists that independence was the best answer.
Why did the colonies want their independence from britain?
The reason was that England was over-taxing the colonists for their purchases of paint, tea, and other needs in order to pay for their (England's) war with a different country. The colonists tried smuggling in tea and other goods from elsewhere, but were caught at it by the British, who then blockaded at least the northern colonies to force taxed purchases from England. That was pretty much the final straw for the colonists, and they declared independance from England.

How did the colonies believe they should be governed?
The colonists eventually decided that they wanted to be a sovergin nation but at first they felt that they should have a say, or representation, in the British legislation, Parliament. "No taxation without representation" was a popular slogan for the colonists. Fair representation in Parliament wouldn't have gotten the colonists what they really wanted, they would just have been out voted by other members of Parliament. The colonists felt that if they were to be taxed and forced to comply with British law set by a far-away nation who couldn't understand the needs of the Colonies, that they should at least have a say in what goes on concerning their way of life. It was more of the principle of the matter that really rallied the colonists against the British. This, along with other issues led to the American Revolution which the Colonies fight for their freedom from Great Britain after the British refused to reconize them as an emerging, sovergin nation,
